Four more suspects have been arrested in connection with the brutal murder of liberal blogger Yameen Rasheed in the early hours on April 23.
The police said in a statement Tuesday that “substantial progress” has been made with six suspects arrested on May 2nd, 3rd and 8th and expressed confidence of successfully concluding the investigation in the coming days.
“The Maldives Police Service would like to reiterate our commitment to give maximum priority to bring the perpetrators of the crime to justice and to create a safer environment for the Maldivian community,” it added.
Two days after the 29-year-old writer and IT professional was found with multiple stab wounds in the stairway of his apartment building in Malé, the police claimed to have identified two suspects from security camera footage.
